Daniel sat in stunned silence, baffled by what he'd learned about the family's history. However, now he knew about Samantha, so was it possible she was helping Sabrina?
Stern stood.
"Why didn't anyone mention this before?"
Marc stepped closer.
"No one knows anything for certain. But, you won't confront Sabrina without resistance."
Stern moved closer as Marc glared at him.
"Will it escalate that far?"
Marc scowled again.
"You have no idea. Once the coven wars begin, humanity will experience great suffering."
Stern grimaced.
"The misery of two families is more than enough," Daniel said. "Yet, an arrest and conviction would bring peace."
Marc tensed.
"Peace is a long-forgotten concept, Detective."
"Look!" Daniel snarled. "This isn't some supernatural fairy tale! Two girls are dead, and there's nothing amusing about that!"
"No, you need to understand!" Marc shouted back. "Trina and Jasmine were the beginning, and no matter what we do, they won't be the last."
Stern stepped closer.
"Let them all know we'll be ready."
Marc glanced over his shoulder.
"I hope that's true, Detective. For your sake."
Afterward, Daniel eased, but Marc was right--he needed to know more. He'd dedicated his life to helping others and a career wielding more hardship than reward. But, as long as the case remained unsolved, he wasn't giving up.
